Heterojunction constructed from ZIF-8-on-MIL-68(Ga) precursor for photocatalytic CO2 reduction

Abstract

Herein, a ZIF-8-on-MIL-68(Ga) precursor derived ZnGa2O4/ZnO heterojunction can promote charge separation and has a strong photoredox ability, while decoration with a Au cocatalyst can lower the Gibbs free energy barrier of the rate-determining step in the photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction, leading to a high CH4 yield of 21.1 μmol g−1 h−1 in pure water without any sacrificial reagent.
